HelpRe: A pitch for my own - and what a Pitch! (Ha Ha Ha)
in reply to a message by Moirrey
My curiosity on "dated" merely involves wonder about how far back - how old my name might be. I read a great deal of classic literature, mythology, ancient as well as medieval history; I love folk lore. I love the idea that the root of my name (Barbaros) might reach as far back as the Trojan War--I do not have any evidence that it does--yet I always wonder if there is evidence of when such a date might be.
I could really care less whether people like my name. Most folks are initially confused; or initially all me Miss, but then see me - and grow more confused - it is all good stuff. Ladies tell me that I have a young face - and that I look as though I am in my twenties - and love the nickname, as it works so well with my last ... I do not use a handle-name, yet I do find it interesting that some folks use handle names on the "Behind the Name" site. This may be worth a query for responses.
I do not think it is fair to speak of my parents and "the why"; I have however just come to recent acceptance and love of my name - part of this may involve (the end of) a mid-life crisis?
